Contour drawing and observational drawing: single objects first, then severaloverlapping in a still life (no erasers, pencils only, use a "fix-it" line)
Contrasts, radial patterns, emphasis and unity in natural forms
Weaving with colored papers: color choices, color families
Color neutralization: adding a complement, then creating contrast beside a bright color
Low-relief effects in collage with paper
Tissue paper collage: use darker papers as accents
Layers of tissue paper to change colors
Monoprinting, collograph (string, and glue lines)
Oil pastel drawings on colored paper (shading spheres and creating planets: outer space on big black paper)
Comparing artworks: same and different
Tell between different media
Use elements vocabulary to describe what they see in a picture
